Fairtrade in Eastleigh Borough Campaign promotes awareness of Fairtrade and we are delighted to announce that The Fairtrade Foundation has recognised our achievements. With the full support of Eastleigh Borough Council, Fairtrade status has been awarded to the Borough of Eastleigh for its commitment to Fairtrade principles.

Eastleigh is now officially a Fairtrade Borough, after a resolution was made in 2005 to actively promote Fairtrade to consumers, businesses and community groups in the area.

This year at St Martins we hope to present 'Going Bananas for Fairtrade -a Fashion Show and Craft Sale' on Saturday 8 th March 7 - 9pm.

After the show of Fairly Traded clothing and accessories, there will be an opportunity to try on clothing and to browse the crafts and foods. Refreshments are provided - a glass of wine and tea/coffee and nibbles.

We want to promote the message of improving the availability of Fairly Traded bananas in all supermarkets with an aim for all bananas to become Fairly Traded.

We hope to include this in our choice of music and props during the fashion show, together with leaflets which encourage the public to support this aim.
